The tour is great, the guide is knowledgeable and the trip very well organized! The boat ride to the island was a lot of fun with the driver doing tricks and making us enjoy the waves :) paradise island is awesome, the fish and reef are worth all the money! Their “waterman” swim with you over the reef and are very well trained and prepared to help you with waves and equipments. Mangroves really interesting to see, even if the excursion goes quite quickly there, but definitely a nice way to end the tour before heading back to the beach. Highly recommended tour :)

Beautiful place but way too many people at the same time for such a little place and it takes away the natural feeling. Other than that it was a nice experience. The tour guide was friendly and very informative. Mangroves part of the tour wasn’t a great deal, no manatees around and we were there for 5 minutes. Lunch was really good.

We did the tour as a pair and enjoyed the whole trip. The transport and the pre-communication was perfect, very friendly and on time (especially with the possible communication per What'sApp). We visit the wunderfull island, got a snorkeling introduction, saw beautiful fishes and corals and good fresh fruits and drinks. The speed boat tour was quite good and funny. The mangroves tour was a a little bit short and we can't see so much. The lunch and the shop visit was very good and without any pressure. Same is valid for the cigar farm. Overall we recomend the tour for all snorkeling interested person.
